This cop comedy was originally called A Couple Of Dicks but the title was changed for obvious reasons.

The detectives in question are Jimmy ( Bruce Willis ) and Paul (Tracy Morgan), sporadically inept NYPD partners suspended after a drugs case goes wrong. To make matters worse, Jimmy gets caught up in a robbery and loses the valuable baseball card he was selling to pay for his daughterâs wedding.

The pair go looking for the thief, Dave (American Pieâs Seann William Scott), whose tip-off takes them right back into the dangerous world of Mexican drug smugglers.

Their stupidity is occasionally amusing but it ebbs and flows to suit the needs of the plot. Both Willis (pictured) and Morgan (30 Rock) have the comic ability to pull this off but theyâre let down by a dull script and lacklustre direction from Kevin Smith. The supporting actors actually land the best roles in this movie.

Rival partners Adam Brody and Kevin Pollak are a more credible cop duo, while Scott rescues every scene heâs in with his wild eyes, smug one-liners and witty improvisations. In all, though, Cop Out is not much cop.
